Most bows

Most bows, 5 minutes tops.

Hell when i bought my bow they had to switch out the CAM for my DL and it took him maybe a minute and i have had no problems after they swapped it out

 

[UTGrad]

Sweet...is it really that simple?

 

[chevman]

Yes..nothing to worry about. They could probably do it in their sleep.

I assume these short times do not include replacing the string and cables and then timing the cams. To be honest the hardest part for me is to keep the spacer washers in place as you slide the shaft back into place. If they are out of position, the shaft will not go in. Of course I usually allow some time to find these spacers again after having them fall on the floor. I am sure that no one else has this problem. Certainly an employee in a pro shop should know the tricks and how to make sure everything goes smoothly.

The only hard part is finding the e-clip that went shooting across the room.

 

[KickerPoint79]

Yep, not much to it.

 

[UTGrad]

Great...I'll have a new cam and Vapor Trail strings!

 

[shooter22]

unless it is a mathews, then they have to take the string off, completely change the cam to the proper size.

I changed the cam on a Switchback in 5 minutes yesterday. Don't exaggerate.

 

[Kill Shill]

yeah but you have other considerations,like what # draw will the limbs yield with the new cam set up?

 

[DannyB]

I had a cam changed out on my Prestige a couple of days ago and it took the local shop a couple of minutes. Everything back in spec. :thumbs_up

 

[DosEquis]

I thought the hard part was holding the string tight enough so the pro could get the cam off and the new one on. Cut my hands up something fierce!

Hey I'm happy for ya. I was just stating that it is not just a simple change a screw or tweek a nut. I never said it took like twelve hours , I believe that is what an exaggeration is.

 

[LeEarl]

Easy swap. I can swap limbs, strings and cams in about 5 min.... You have nothing to worry about if you have a good shop. Just let them do their thing and you just worry about shooting the bow after they are done :thumb:

???? The original poster asked about changing out a cam . . not changing draw length. Last I checked there isn't a bow made that you don't have to remove the string/cables from to change a cam.
